That's what I thought as well...Same as improved Alberto Knot. It's my go to know since its veasy to tie, has a low profile so it won't get stuck in your guides and I've not had one fail yet...

The guy in Dans video says at the end of the knot, it does not matter which side of the mono loop you go out of with the braid...I've found the knot does not work unless you exit out the loop on the same side that you entered in the loop. That's the only real critical part of the knot, as far as I can tell and Alberto himself confirms it in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J56O3CZVu7M

Same here Ger.... I knew right away Alberto stressed the must go out same way as in and also more then 5 turns. Crazy Al showed me personally how to tie his knot at a fishing show about 5 yrs ago and how low profile and easy once you do it a couple times and I've used it ever since. I do admit when I'm in a hurry I still tie uni to uni sometimes from habit
